You can use a constant combinator if it's a constant value you need.

Or the arithmetic combinator can be used to multiply by -1 to convert the input value to negative.

Not sure if you're serious or not, but pokemon cards have come with code cards for a long time. The problem is they're for a different game and won't work on tcg pocket lol

I like the approach of ci pipelines just running a make command or at least a script, so that it's easy to run locally too before pushing the changes up.

Do you put the version in each commit? That seems painful

Does Actual support investment accounts / stocks? I was using beancount/fava for tracking, but have been lazy and haven't updated it in a long time.

It's already been recommended, but I think Grist or a lowcode/nocode thing like baserow or nocodb might work for you.

Also, I'd love to see what you come up with! My cats are picky eaters and I've been wanting to keep track of what wet food they like or not.

I use the Nexus free version. You can cache docker registries and other repos like apt/yum/pypi/etc.

It works pretty well, but could be overkill compared to some of the other options.

If the operator doesn't allow it for some reason, uninstall it and try with the helm chart instead?

Or is there a reason to use the operator?

OpenHAB was OK the last time I used it. I'm not sure what other big options there are.

You can use docker exec with garage docker image.

I'm on mobile but I think you just need something like: docker exec containerid ./garage stats

 

I've been in the process of migrating a lot things back to kubernetes, and I'm debating whether I should have separate private and public clusters.

Some stuff I'll keep out of kubernetes and leave in separate vms, like nextcloud/immich/etc. Basically anything I think would be more likely to have sensitive data in it.

I also have a few public-facing things like public websites, a matrix server, etc.

Right now I'm solving this by having two separate ingress controllers in one cluster - one for private stuff only available over a vpn, and one only available over public ips.

The main concern I'd have is reducing the blast radius if something gets compromised. But I also don't know if I really want to maintain multiple personal clusters. I am using Omni+Talos for kubernetes, so it's not too difficult to maintain two clusters. It would be more inefficient as far as resources go since some of the nodes are baremetal servers and others are only vms. I wouldn't be able to share a large baremetal server anymore, unless I split it into vms.

What are y'all's opinions on whether to keep everything in one cluster or not?

 

What's everyones recommendations for a self-hosted authentication system?

My requirements are basically something lightweight that can handle logins for both regular users and google. I only have 4-5 total users.

So far, I've looked at and tested:

  • Authentik - Seems okay, but also really slow for some reason. I'm also not a fan of the username on one page, password on the next screen flow
  • Keycloak - Looks like it might be lighter in resources these days, but definitely complicated to use
  • LLDAP - I'd be happy to use it for the ldap backend, but it doesn't solve the whole problem
  • Authelia - No web ui, which is fine, but also doesn't support social logins as far as I can tell. I think it would be my choice if it did support oidc
  • Zitadel - Sounds promising, but I spent a couple hours troubleshooting it just to get it working. I might go back to it, but I've had the most trouble with it so far and can't even compare the actual config yet
 

Does anyone have recommendations for centralized backup servers that use the server/client model?

My backups are relatively simple in that I use rsync to pull everything from remote machines to a single server and then run restic on that server to back them up and also copy that backup to cloud storage.

I've been looking at some other software again like Bacula/Bareos/UrBackup and wondering if anyone's currently using one of them or something like it that they like?

Ideally I'm looking for a more user-friendly polished interface for managing backups across multiple servers and desktops/laptops. I'm testing Bareos now, but it'll probably not work out since the web ui doesn't allow adding new jobs/volumes/etc.

 

One of the things I don't really want to self host is a mail server, especially for outbound mail. Currently I'm using a Gmail account, but I want to change that.

What do you all use for things like notifications sent through smtp?

I'm leaning towards AWS SES since it's cheap, but I know there are some other options like mailgun and sendgrid.

 

I've been looking for something to replace Trello, mostly for personal use between me and my partner. We both have our own boards as well as a couple shared ones we use for planning trips/etc.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a kanban/trello-like software?

I've been using Obsidian w/ the obsidian-kanban plugin lately and it is alright, but obviously not as easy to share between two people and more limited compared to some of the features trello has.

Two options I'm trying out now:

  • Planka - seems like it might be alright, but haven't used it enough yet. Trello import option is one-board-at-a-time.
  • Vikunja - extremely slow for some reason and the auto-save feature kept causing me to lose what I typed
